6. HOW WE SECURE YOUR DATA

  • 6.1 We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised or unlawful processing of your Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your Data. While no system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Platform reduce our vulnerability to security problems to a level appropriate to the type of Data involved. We have security measures in place to protect our user database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains your responsibility to (a) protect against unauthorised access to your use of our Platform, (b) ensure no-one else uses our Platform through your device while your device is logged on to our Platform (including by logging on to your device through a mobile, Wi-Fi or share access connection you are using), (c) log off or exit from our Platform when not using it, (d) where relevant, keep your password or other access information secret. Your password and log in details are personal to you and should not be given to anyone else or used to provide shared access for example over a network. You should use a password which is unique to your use of our Platform (do not use the same password as you use for another site or email account), and (e) maintain good internet security. For example if your email account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given us those details and/or permitted access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account with us. You should keep all of your account details secure. If you think that any of your accounts have been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. You should also tell us as soon as you can so that we can try to help you keep your account secure and if necessary warn anyone else who could be affected.

Note that, despite the measures taken by us and the third parties we engage, the internet is not secure. As a result, others may nevertheless unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions or Data.

  • 6.3 We will retain your Data only as long as is necessary for the purposes for which you have provided your consent in our Privacy Policy or as is required by applicable law. Once it is no longer necessary to store your Data, we will delete it.
